2.The subject has received TAK-448 in a previous clinical study, or previous cohort.
3.The subject is an immediate family member, study site employee, or is in a dependant relationship with a study site employee who is involved in conduct of this study (eg, spouse, parent, child, sibling) or may consent under duress.
4.The subject has uncontrolled, clinically significant neurologic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal, or endocrine disease or other abnormality (other than T2DM, its complications and associated conditions), which may impact the ability of the subject to participate or potentially confound the study results.
5.The subject has a recent history or clinical manifestations of significant CVD – such as a history of myocardial infarction or stroke in the 6 months preceding the Screening visit or has untreated peripheral arterial disease.
6.The subject has a history of hypersensitivity or allergies to any component of the formulation of TAK-448.
7.The subject has a history of drug abuse (defined as any illicit drug use) or a history of alcohol abuse within 5 years prior to Screening.
8.The subject is required to take excluded medications, supplements, or food products listed in Section 7.3.
9.The subject intends to donate sperm during the course of this study or for 12 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
10.The subject has clinical evidence of anatomic or pathological hypothalamic/pituitary disease.
11.There is any finding in the subject’s medical history, physical examination, or safety laboratory tests giving reasonable suspicion of a disease that would contraindicate taking TAK-448, or a similar drug in the same class that might interfere with the conduct of the study.
12.The subject has a history of cancer (including prostate cancer), with the exception of basal cell carcinoma which has been in remission for at least 5 years prior to Screening.
13.The subject has a history of or present symptomatic prostate disease (including benign prostatic hyperplasia) or PSA is >4 ng/mL at Screening.
14.The subject has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus infection at Screening.
15.The subject is deemed by the study team to have poor peripheral venous access.
16.The subject has donated or lost 450 mL or more of his blood volume (including plasmapheresis), or had a transfusion of any blood product within 45 days prior to Screening, or is planning to donate blood for 12 weeks after the last dose of study medication.
17.The subject has a Screening or Day -1 abnormal (clinically significant) ECG. Entry of any subject with an abnormal (not clinically significant) ECG must be approved, and documented by signature of the principal investigator or medically qualified subinvestigator.
18.The subject has abnormal Screening or Day -1 laboratory values that suggest a clinically significant underlying disease or subject with the following lab abnormalities: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and/or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >2× the upper limits of normal (ULN).
19.The subject, in the opinion of the investigator, is unlikely to comply with the protocol or is unsuitable for any other reason.
20.The subject has had more than two severe hypoglycemic events (requiring third party assistance) within 6 months prior to the Screening Visit.
